<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Hazen, If the remaining end of the string is long enough, I would do the splice with the string already in the piano and through the pressure bar.  But in a spinet you're likely not to have enough room to work.  In that case (and I've never faced it) I would probably replace the string.  There'a a limit to what flesh and blood can endure.
